My computer is saying my camera is not recognized

Having gone over a month without a response to my query, I assume my suggestion to use a card reader solved the problem.

The ViviCam 5022 does not record sound when recording video. You can add a soundtrack using video-editing software on a computer, but you cannot record one on the camera. Thus, with no audio capability, there is no volume control.

Sorry if that wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but that's the way it is.

Sorry, you can't. The ViviCam 5022 does not record sound in video mode. You can add a soundtrack using video-editing software on a computer, but you cannot record one on the camera.

I know this wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but there it is.

This means that the camera recognizes it has been connected to a computer. You can now download pictures from the camera. Just do it from the computer, not the camera.

This probably isn't the answer you wanted to see, but the V5022 does not record sound with its videos. You can add a soundtrack with video-editing software on a computer, but you can't record one on the ViviCam.

clean the battery contact terminals to remove any coating/oxidation/moisture gathered over it,

Did you delete the pictures using your computer? If so, the camera no longer recognizes the card.

SD cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position nearest the contacts enables writing, the opposite position protects or locks it. Try sliding it fully to the locked position and then fully to the unlocked position. If that doesn't work, try a different card.

The ViviCam 5022 is primarily a still camera that has some video capabilities grafted on. Unfortunately, those capabilities do not include sound. You can add a soundtrack using video-editing software on a computer, but you cannot record one on the camera.

I know this wasn't the answer you wanted to see, but there it is.

The ViviCam 5022 does not record any sound with its videos. You can add a soundtrack using video-editing software on a computer, but you cannot record one on the camera.
